We Are In Cheyenne, WY

"The main quilt show is no longer held at the Quilting in the Country site. It is now on the lawn of the Emerson Art Center and is titled "Quilting on the Lawn". There were over 450 quilts outside, 50+ antique quilts inside and about 30 vendors. Classes were held yesterday at the Emerson as well as the QITC site. The Quilting in the Country story has a small display only on the quilt day. I am so sorry you were not here - it was magnificent. Please plan to come again next year - would love to meet you."

The comment above was left on our blog and I am so embarrassed--I obviously didn't read the flyer I saw at the quilt shop in Big Timber very well. And very disappointed that I didn't get to see all the quilts, very disappointed. Carol, who left the comment--I would love to know who you are and thank you so much for educating me for next year. I am always amazed at the number of people who read my blog and the places they are from.

We left home about 6:30am headed for Cheyenne and 12 hours later pulled into the driveway of our friends Joyce and Larry whom we met while camped at Lake Medina in Texas. We had stopped at the Holiday Inn and picked up Laci on the way to our friends. Needless to say it shouldn't have taken us 12 hours to travel from Big Timber to Cheyenne but we are still working the kinks out of this motor home.

We visited with Larry and Joyce watching their dog Scooter terrorize Emmi then Laci and the two of us went and had a late supper. After supper we dropped Laci back at the HI and we came home to Emmi and our bed--very tired.

It was so incredibly hot today and the dash air conditioning is not working--sure am glad I am married to a guy who can fix things!

I am "that carol" from Bozeman who enjoys your blog. We are looking to purchase a motorhome, do some traveling and I am a longarm quilter. You are an inspiration and have been a great source of information since I found your blog. Hope to meet you someday in person. Enjoy your travels!

About Me

Mike is a retired rancher/construction company owner. Janna is a retired registered nurse. We met almost 20 years ago and in spite of sounding corny, it was love at first sight. We have been truly blessed in our lives together.
We enjoy being outdoors with our little Schnauzer, Emmi.
Janna loves to quilt, cook, and read. Mike builds furniture, researches "stuff" on the computer and is a Sudoku pro. He is also the chief mechanic for all our older stuff such as the 1996 Country Coach motor home we now travel in! We love retirement!
